Chapter 0445: Who Will Emerge Victorious?

Zi Qingcheng saw that Qin Yun had consumed so much energy, so she placed her hand on his back and channeled her energy into him.

Shui Tianzi followed suit, helping Qin Yun restore his depleted inner energy.

With their assistance, Qin Yun recovered very quickly, becoming energetic again in just over two hours.

Qin Yun said, "It's almost dark. I wonder if those guys are still hanging around!"

"There are too many of them; we can't fight them! Let's regroup with Grandma Du first!"

Shui Tianzi said, "I sent a message to Grandma Du earlier, but she hasn't responded yet. I have no idea what's going on over there!"

Zi Qingcheng was also worried, saying, "That Sky Lion is incredibly powerful. Probably only a Martial King could deal with it!"

"You have several elders from the Xuanwu sect in Moon Mystic Valley, so it shouldn't be an issue," Qin Yun said. "Don't worry too much!"

Shui Tianzi snorted lightly, "Those Martial Kings are quite reckless. Instead of heading to the Immortal Tomb Wasteland, they went off to slay dragons and dispersed the main group!"

Zi Qingcheng said coldly, "They all covet something from the dragon's remains! Maybe they don't want too many people heading to the Immortal Tomb Wasteland together. If some get separated, it works to their advantage!"

"So what should we do next? Go out?" Qin Yun asked.

"Let's scout the area first," Shui Tianzi nodded. "But be careful; those guys might still be out there!"

Qin Yun didn't use the Piercing Mystic Art to go out because it drained too much energy. Instead, he carefully carved out a cave using the Ming Yang Flame.

After they came out, they detected several hostile auras nearby.

"They're still here!" Shui Tianzi said gravely, as she abruptly received a message from Old Lady Du.

"Grandma Du and the others are in dire straits! There are several powerful Sky Lions over there, and hordes of ghost beasts!" Shui Tianzi said worriedly after reading the message. "I pray Xiao Guoer and Xiao Dianxin are unharmed!"

Qin Yun was highly proficient in handling ghost beasts because he had ghost-subduing talismans and arrays. "Let's go over! We can aid them in driving off the ghost beasts!"

Zi Qingcheng nodded.

Shui Tianzi urgently sought Old Lady Du's whereabouts but didn't get an immediate response, which made them even more worried.

"We need to be careful; those guys are prowling nearby," Qin Yun whispered.

Shui Tianzi finally received another message from Old Lady Du.

"Xiao Guoer and Xiao Dianxin were safely escorted away by Granny Deng! Let's go meet up with Granny Deng!"

At the same time, the auras of those bloodline warriors faded away, meaning they were moving away from the area.

"Great, they've left. Let's hurry back!" Zi Qingcheng said.

Qin Yun thought they would have to engage in a big battle, but now he could finally relax.

Afterward, Qin Yun followed Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi as they rushed toward Granny Deng's location.

On the way, Shui Tianzi kept stopping and starting, needing to constantly ask for directions and positions.

After running for over half an hour, Qin Yun lost contact as Shui Tianzi ceased receiving any messages.

"It's been so long, and there's still no message. Did something happen to them?" Shui Tianzi said with great concern.

Qin Yun said, "It should be nearby, let's split up and search!"

"Cousin, stick with me, it’ll be safer!" Zi Qingcheng said.

She was in the Spirit Martial realm, so she could handle whatever came her way.

Qin Yun shook his head, "The more of us searching, the quicker we’ll find them. Let's split up, there's no need to worry about me!"

Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi, recalling that Qin Yun had saved them earlier, felt that worrying about him was unnecessary.

"Alright! Here's a communication jade charm, make sure to reach out if you need me!" Shui Tianzi handed Qin Yun a jade charm.

After taking it, Qin Yun looked at it and nodded, "You guys be careful too!"

Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi left in two different directions.

Qin Yun also chose a direction and began his search.

At night, Qin Yun roamed alone in the pitch-black forest, lost, having been separated from Zi Qingcheng and the others for over half an hour.

Just then, he noticed the communication jade charm buzzing. He quickly took it out and heard Shui Tianzi's urgent voice, "A Shuai, leave the Yunlong Mountains immediately, it's very dangerous here, see you in the next life!"

Qin Yun was stunned, as Shui Tianzi's tone suggested she was in grave danger, possibly facing death!

He was also anxious and cursed under his breath, "This woman, facing danger and not even asking for my help—she’s underestimating me!"

With no other option, he quickly crafted a Soul-Tracking Spirit Talisman.

Zi Qingcheng had given him a small bottle of Purple Immortal Dew, which carried her aura. Infusing it into the Soul-Tracking Talisman would allow him to track her location.

"I wonder if Sister Baozi and Shui Tianzi are with each other?" Qin Yun activated the Soul-Tracking Spirit Talisman and then rushed in the direction it indicated.

After a short while, he sensed the presence of several bloodline fighters nearby. He ducked into the shadows and pulled out the Xuan Martial Cannon.

Boom, boom, boom...

Up ahead, a sudden volley of deafening explosions erupted, signaling a brutal fight among powerful warriors.

"It's the aura of the Xuan Martial realm... Could it be Granny Deng? Granny Deng is being besieged by four bloodline fighters!" Qin Yun was stunned and rushed to the scene.

When he arrived, he saw a square cage several meters long, inside which were four women: Zi Qingcheng, Shui Tianzi, and her two sisters.

Granny Deng was gasping for breath, encircled by three bloodline fighters.

"If Granny Deng weren’t hurt, you lowlifes wouldn’t stand a chance!" Shui Tianzi angrily shouted, "Grandma Du’s on her way, and she’ll make sure you beasts pay!"

Qin Yun noticed Shui Tianzi and Zi Qingcheng were hurt, their faces bruised from the earlier attack.

Xiong Zixuan strode to the cage, seized Shui Tianzi by the throat, and began ripping at her clothes.

Zi Qingcheng yelled in fury and slammed Xiong Zixuan, shoving him back.

"Granny Deng, get out of here! Just make them pay later!" Shui Tianzi shouted.

"You monsters, you’ll die a terrible death!" Zi Qingcheng also cursed, helping Shui Tianzi to the back.

Both of them were badly hurt.

Xiao Guoer was the worst off, slumped in the corner of the cage, her eyes barely open, her body streaked with blood.

The young girl was terrified, tears streaming down her face as she tended to her second sister's wounds.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you four. You are our cultivation vessels. Soon, you'll wish you were dead, hahaha..." Xiong Zixuan sneered.

He was there to watch Zi Qingcheng and the others, preventing them from destroying their cultivation cores.

Granny Deng was engaged in a desperate struggle. She had been injured earlier and then besieged by these four bloodline warriors, worsening her injuries.

Zi Qingcheng kept cursing and tearfully urged Granny Deng to leave.

Although Granny Deng was an elder woman, she was incredibly resilient, covered in blood, one eye destroyed, yet she remained silent, fiercely battling the three bloodline warriors.

No matter what, she would not leave on her own!

This scene stirred Qin Yun deeply, filling him with immense anger, and the powerful heavenly lion bloodline was ignited by his fury.

Although he longed to rush over, he knew that the four bloodline warriors were all in the Spirit Martial realm, and he couldn't handle them alone.

The urgent task now was to save them. He took out an immobilization talisman, ready to act!

Zi Qingcheng, who kept cursing, was suddenly choked by Xiong Zixuan, her face brutally gouged by his nails, digging into her flesh, extremely cruel.

"Sister Baozi..." Qin Yun, seeing Zi Qingcheng's beautiful face being so ravaged, felt his anger surge. He swiftly dashed over, throwing several immobilization talismans.

His immobilization talismans were royal grade spiritual bone talismans, crafted with Zi Qingcheng's help, capable of immobilizing Spirit Martial realm warriors for about three seconds.

Using the Divine Control Technique, he accurately landed four immobilization talismans on the four Spirit Martial realm warriors.

"Granny Deng, now is our chance!" Qin Yun shouted and darted to the cage.

Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi, hearing Qin Yun's voice, were extremely worried, fearing he might also fall here.

Just as they were worrying, they witnessed a massive cauldron materialize, covering Xiong Zixuan.

It was the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron!

Although Granny Deng was severely injured, being in the Xuan Martial realm, she quickly attacked when she saw the three bloodline warriors besieging her immobilized!

She brandished two long tridents, swiftly appearing before one bloodline warrior, piercing him dozens of times in a flash.

Then she swiftly turned to another warrior, piercing him dozens of times again, and finally threw the two tridents, penetrating the third bloodline warrior's body.

Having done this, she collapsed to the ground.

Qin Yun, concealed in the shadows, stepped into view.

Shui Tianzi, seeing the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron, instantly recognized that Zi Qingcheng's cousin was none other than the renowned Qin Yun!

Qin Yun swiftly unlocked the cage, took out several royal grade Rune talismans, and threw them on Zi Qingcheng and the others, enveloping them in a healing glow.

Then he hurriedly rushed to Granny Deng.

Qin Yun produced a circular jade basin, a royal grade spiritual artifact engraved with Runes and Moon Runes for healing.

He gently laid Granny Deng into the jade basin, then poured in numerous purple crystal coins.

"Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron... that idiot cousin is Qin Yun!" one of the severely injured bloodline warriors exclaimed in terror.

"Spirit Martial realm bloodline warriors, what valuable assets!" Qin Yun sneered ominously.

He intended to extract the warrior spirits of these three bloodline warriors.

The three bloodline warriors were severely injured but not dead!

Qin Yun took out the Soul-Sealing Pearl and began extracting the warrior spirits.

Zi Qingcheng and the other three women were illuminated by the light emitted by the Runes, and their wounds gradually healed.

Xiao Guoer recovered more slowly, as she had taken many cuts to protect her sister.

Old Lady Deng in the jade vat healed faster, and she secretly marveled at the healing speed of the vat.

At this moment, they all looked at Qin Yun in awe!

They saw Qin Yun place his palm on the abdomen of a burly man, who suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream.

In the darkness, they could clearly see that after Qin Yun lifted his palm, a small eagle crackling with purple-gold lightning burst forth from the man's abdomen!

It was the warrior spirit extracted by Qin Yun, the Purple-Gold Thunder Eagle Warrior Spirit!
